(3) If the exporter is not a firm

covered in these reviews, a prior review,

or the less-than-fair-value

investigations, but the manufacturer is,

the cash deposit rate will be the rate

(4) If neither the exporter nor the

manufacturer is a firm covered in these

or any previous reviews conducted by

the Department, the cash deposit rate for

the A–588–054 case will be 18.07

percent, and 36.52 percent for the A–

This notice serves as a preliminary

reminder to importers of their

responsibility to file a certificate

regarding the reimbursement of

antidumping duties prior to liquidation

of the relevant entries during this

review period. Failure to comply with

this requirement could result in the

Secretary’s presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties

occurred and the subsequent assessment

of double antidumping duties.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.213.

Mutual Interest to Mexico and U.S.A.

9:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon—Receive

public testimony on: (1) Total Allowable

Catch (TAC) (2) Draft Mackerel

Amendment 9; and, (3) Draft Essential

Fish Habitat (EFH) Amendment.

Possible changes to the fishing year for

Gulf group king mackerel; (2) Possible

prohibitions of sale of Gulf mackerel

caught under the recreational allocation;

(3) Possible reallocations of TAC for the

commercial fishery for Gulf group king

mackerel in the Eastern Zone; (4)

Possible reallocations of TAC for Gulf

group king mackerel between the

recreational and commercial sectors to

70 percent recreational and 30 percent

commercial; (5) Possible establishment

of two (2) subdivisions of TAC for the

commercial, hook-and-line allocation of

Gulf group king mackerel by area for the

Florida west coast; (6) Possible

subdivisions of TAC for commercial

Gulf group king mackerel in the Western

Zone (Alabama through Texas) by area,

season, or a combination of area and

season; (7) Possible trip limits for

vessels fishing for Gulf group king

mackerel in the Western Zone; (8)

Possible additional restrictions on the

use of net gear to harvest Gulf group

king mackerel off the Florida west coast;

including a phase-out, a moratorium on

additional net endorsements with

requirements for continuing existing net

endorsements, restrictions on the

transferability of net endorsements, and

restriction of the use of nets to primarily

the waters off Monroe and Collier

Counties; (9) Possible increase in the

minimum size limit for Gulf group king

mackerel to 24 or 26 inches fork length;

(10) Possible re-establishment of an

annual allocation or a TAC percentage

of Gulf group Spanish mackerel for the

purse seine fishery with consideration

of trip limits and area restrictions; (11)

Possible retention and sale of cut-off

(damaged) legal-sized king and Spanish

mackerel within established trip limits.

Following is a summary of the Draft

EFH Amendment: (1) EFH is identified

and described based on areas where

various life stages of 21 selected

managed species and the coral complex

commonly occur. The selected species

are shrimp; red drum; reef fish; coastal

migratory pelagic species; stone crab;

spiny lobster; and the coral complex; (2)

The selected species represent about a

third of the species under management

by the Council. Collectively, these

species commonly occur throughout all

of the marine and estuarine waters of

the Gulf of Mexico. Consequently, EFH

for the remaining managed species

would be included with that of the

species discussed. EFH for the

remaining managed species will be

further addressed in future Fishery

Management Plan (FMP) amendments,

as appropriate; (3) EFH is defined as

everywhere that the above managed

species commonly occur. Because these

species collectively occur in all

estuarine and marine habitats of the

Gulf of Mexico, EFH is separated into

estuarine and marine components. For

the estuarine component, EFH includes

all estuarine waters and substrates

(mud, sand, shell, rock, and associated

biological communities), including the

sub-tidal vegetation (seagrasses and

algae) and adjacent inter-tidal vegetation

(marshes and mangroves). In the marine

waters of the Gulf of Mexico, EFH

includes virtually all marine waters and

substrates (mud, sand, shell, rock, and

associated biological communities) from

the shoreline to the seaward limit of the

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ); (4)

Threats to EFH from fishing and

nonfishing activities are identified; (5)

Options to conserve and enhance EFH

are provided and research needs are

identified; (6) No management measures

and, therefore, no regulations are

proposed at this time. Fishing-related

management measures to minimize any

identified impacts are deferred to future

amendments when the Council has the

information necessary to decide if the

measures are practicable.
